In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; th extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy.

"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?" It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.

SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes) 61、根據(jù)材料,回答61-65題: Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more. complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of"gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross nationalproduct does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reachingeffects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger socialscale. Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and sharehappiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helpinghand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you dis-cover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys. Mansoor Malik: Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind tothe environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of well-being. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer: At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your spe-cial report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are oftenhungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? Asyour article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make ushappy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A．A rich person is not necessarily happy. B．Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness. C．Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis. D．We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness. E．Happiness lies in giving instead of taking. F．The environment is a source of happiness. G．Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.
